127 Beurre Demi-sel

Beurre Demi-sel

N°127-

15x15 cm (aprox 6"x 6'" inches)

oil on gessoboard, made in Italy

I've wanted to paint this for some time but the butter gets used so quickly. Yesterday I went to BHV to look for an oil tin. I had an oil tin that I brought from Florence when I moved here, I loved it and had painted it numerous times. One day I came back from the atelier, the day the cleaning lady came, and my beloved oil tin was broken, the handle had been knocked off.

Yesterday I looked for a replacement but I couldn't find one, it is a good reminder that this is Paris, we eat butter. I love butter.
